!Help: can't get into perl -MCPAN -e shell

[mmccaws2]

I try to login in at command line. It gives me the output below. It
then kicks me out of the perl shell. What do I need to do to be able
to use it?

Exec format error means the file will not run on your machine.
Either
it is corrupted or (more likely) built for the wrong architecture.
Are you on an Itanium system? Try the command:

It describes the file to you.

Which arch are you referring to? Would it be an arch file only within
perl directories.

the rest is below

BTW I really appreciate your help too.

You don't seem to have "arch" on HP-UX; what does "model" say?

Use "uname" or "uname -a" - no point calling "uname" on "traceroute"
(or even "traceroute" on "uname").

That looks like useful info anyway.

Have you got "tusc" installed?

Exec format error means the file will not run on your machine.
Either

Are you on an Itanium system? Try the command:

file /opt/perl/lib/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/auto/IO/IO.so

I still can't log in. This is a production server, so it is important
for this to get resolved with minimal service disruption. Do I try to
install the module again. If so, since I can't use perl -MCPAN -e
shell to do this, how do I try to reinstall on a HPUX 11i platform?

Or what do I need to do?

I'm not sure what this means. Are you talking about logging into your
user account and getting this error before you type any commands?

A complete transcript of your session would be helpful.


Can you run anything else with perl or is it just this module giving
you problems?

What happens when you try:

$ perl -MIO -e 0

If that doesn't work, I suggest re-installing perl. You have something
wrong with a core module.

Oh yes, we coordinated a reboot and the above output is even after the

Why would a reboot help? Do a re-build/re-install of perl, might as
well make it the latest version, while you're at it.

No idea how HP does things, but it should involve running make. Make
sure you do the 'make test'.

make
make test ---> this should pass.. maybe a few warnings, but it should
run and not give fatal errors.
make install .. if the tests pass

You probably want to do that on your test box or on one of your
redundant servers first.

Well, reinstall perl,latest version my administrator could grab, which
we did, has not changed my ability to log into the perl shell. Must
be something in my .cpan directory. What happens if I blow that
away?????

Any thoughts!!!!!!

As to how she installs perl I think she is using a binary.

Mike.

There is no Perl shell.

And, it sounds like your administrator needs to recompile Perl. The
binary she is installing is broken.

And thanks everyone for your help. For us not so experience in Perl,
getting positive feedback seems to drive me to continue learning and
hopefully become more proficient.
